blame nafta. blame anti-competitive environment here. mexico does have lots of problems btw... security detail will be obvious down there.

nice.

very cool. and the transmission tech. interesting.

saw a newish taurus with the license plate OCN around town yesterday. or should this go in july car spotting? lol

Happy belated birthday guys!

thanks guys. didn't see this on friday, i think. offered a job, accepted and i plan on starting in ~2 weeks. lunch with parents, supper with friends, and 2 games of euchre which i was 1/2 the winning team.

yesterday, june, but i didn't have time to post yesterday. brand new buick verano.

and a manual is needed...why?

my 99 monte, while losing it's clear-coat on the hood, and some paint in other places, is..... like a rock...with a motor. lol

different, not over top. i like it.

cut and paste, or is there formating problems on here? it's sooooo annoying. (using firefox stable)

save the organs!!!!! that is all.

they blackmail states into the 21 yo drinking age.... obviously that works perfectly!!!! /s

very nice, ....but those extra gauges weren't oem spec, right? not needed...

would the 2.5L and a turbo 3.0L work well in the "colorado" for people that want a small truck that can actually be used? dwight- have you thought about this and come up with numbers before? it's known the 4.3L as is won't cut it, it'd have to be majorly reworked.... even an 8 speed wouldn't help it THAT much...

how about just playing that farmers insurance commercial about distracted driving? lol

if nothing else it'll add more excitement to the c,d,e size cars...somewhere in there... it is slightly more hp/l than the LNF.... wonder what the torque curve looks like...

would that be first DI'd engine under 2.0L(here)? GM doesn't have one.... does Ford?

union knows not of what management wants to do, union gets upset and goes public, to the announcement.... little immature....

TT 3.0L?

gotcha. i was thinking that's what you meant, but i would be curious how much info is given to manufacturers after consumers' accidents happen. i would think that most of that info is logged in test labs where they have more observational data instead of just car inputs and outputs.

i thought that was evident and began back in 1913? goes to show you what "smart people" have done to the legal system... wilson, the only PhD. ever in the oval office that sat at that desk.

while that might be controlled by another "black box".... i thought black boxes = data recorder, not anything else. another box would use that information to "learn" the driver's habits....different box... only accessible by dealers(manufacturers) for firmware changes (and hackers), right?

JB... but with warrant laws, they can be changed.... just look at the fiasco under the patriot act. once the enforcement becomes the judge, it's very, very hard to get the law changed back and punish the ones that overstepped their rightful bounds, not the lawful bounds. right?
